Spur of the Moment Pasta

Sometimes I get busy with work and with life and the next thing I know it's already 7:30pm and I haven't even thought about starting dinner. Sometimes, when that happens, I don't feel like going through the motions and making what I had planned to make. Take this night for instance... I just didn't want to spend more than 10 minutes putting everything together for dinner. It was late, I was tired, but boy was I hungry. So, Spur of the Moment Pasta was born. It's simple, it's quick, and it's definitely tasty - the perfect week night meal!

In a small bowl or measuring cup, add the tomatoes and season with garlic salt and pepper. Add the oregano, thyme, mint and basil olive oil. Toss to combine. Add tomato mixture, lemon juice, jalapeno, and tuna (if using) to the drained pasta. Toss to combine. Add extra virgin olive oil by the tablespoons full until the pasta is no longer dry. Top with parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy!

This is definitely going to be our dinner tonight! I have some leftover chicken from my Chipotle-type crockpot chicken and figured I'd put in some of my ripe tomatoes. Now you've given me the rest of the recipe. Thanks, as usual, Jenn! :-)
